So I was laying on the couch watching the olympics and my wife yells across the room that she sees "tadpoles" under the anemone's rock... I assume they are mysis and tell her that the clownfish fry cannot survive in our tank, hence her least favorite new smell of phyto culture in our basement.
She insisted I look, and low and behold they are actually fry!! They have found a crevice with little to no flow under the protection of the host anemone and have somehow made it through almost 4 days since the last clutch hatched. The only thing I can think is that I feed phytofeast to keep up a good pod population for my mandarin and they are physically protected from predators by the anemone and rock work. Has anyone experienced survivors in a DT like this? Should I rescue them to my rearing tank or just see what happens?
